The best coffee shops to work remotely in Jeddah

It’s time for a change of scenery…

It’s fair to say that working from home has managed to crossover from being a temporary trend to the new default for many office workers. But what if actually working from home doesn’t suit? Sometimes it’s necessary for a change of scenery. Of course, the ideal abode is chock full of caffeine, delicious snacks, and yes, WiFi – otherwise known as your favourite coffee shop. Here are a few of the best cafes in Jeddah to work from…

Ash Cafe

Ash Cafe is cosy so you want to get in early in the morning to find the best spot for a productive few hours, but its fast and free WiFi, delicious coffee and snacks, and the overall vibe makes it worth it. The cafe also has a few booths that can booked for privacy or small meetings.

Boho Cafe

Boho Cafe calls itself a ‘liquid art house’ and anyone who steps inside this larger-than-life coffee shop will understand why. The cafe has beautiful interiors with incredible art (some of which is for sale) used as decor, while the food and drink is also made to look like works of art. But don’t let any of that intimidate you. Boho Cafe is laptop-friendly and welcomes entrepreneurs, creatives, and everyone else who wants to use its space for work. The cafe also frequently hosts workshops, talks, and all sorts of events that are a great place to network and pick up new skills. And despite just how luxurious the coffee shop is, prices aren’t all that higher than the other speciality coffee shops in Jeddah.

Brew 92

Brew 92 has quickly become the go-to hip coffee shop amongst young people in Jeddah (with branches also in Riyadh and Mecca), but despite its popularity, it is a great place to get long hours of work done. They have two branches in Jeddah and both are spacious with a welcoming staff. Brew 92 is also easily the best roastery in Jeddah and the place to be for unbeatable coffee.
